Using Vista on a virus infested computer?
Okay, so I have XP on my computer, but it has been infested with a virus. It was just tampering with programs until today, and now I cannot get past the windows loading screen, it just auto restarts (in safe mode too). So I am going to format it on the weekend, but I still have files I want to retrieve before I do. So if I were to install Vista onto the machine would I be able to access those files while using that OS?

No.
Vista install will re-format the hard drive before it installs. jcgriff2 . |
